Our first choice of casting for 'Loomis' was Ashley Carter. He takes theatre studies and has blonde hair, blue eyes and isn't of a very big physique. However, he became unavailable.
Our second choice, and final choice, was Lawrence Mellor.He had previous acting skills and also looked the part as he was of a small physique, red hair and blue eyes. He didn't fit perfectly but he was still the counter type to the male protagonist and was what we were looking for(E.G. Stereotype could be Zac Efronhttp://teenhollywood411.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/zac-efron-portada.jpg). Lawrence is part of the middle social class and is aged 17 which reflects our audience as this is around what we are aiming for so they can relate to him easier.
For this character we decided that he would wear pyjamas. This is because 'Loomis' in a dream and having him wearing pyjamas would show the audience that he is not in a normal place and something weird is going on, eventually they will find out he is in a coma, but not in the first Two minutes. The pyjamas he will wear will be of a style that reflects the audience. Because of his age they are more 'in fashion' than classic pyjamas and are also sold by Topman which is where the Target Audience will shop at from time to time. (www.topman.com)
The costume for this character will have to be dark and fully black. This reveals to the audience that she is an evil presence and that she is not normal. We could not get a black dress long enough so we Had her wearing a big black shirt and black leggings.
Our entire cast is of two characters. they are Caucasian s well. This is because in my local year group, the majority of the ethnicity is of Caucasian ethnics so therefor it would be hard to fit other ethnic characters into my cast.
For the second character, The Girl, we chose Holly Stephenson. We set out looking for a girl who was Small, thin and had dark hair. She fitted perfectly and had the pose we wanted for being scary.
